Thanks everyone for your thoughts, clearing cookies didn't help, so I have sent an email to the administrators asking for help. Hopefully they will get back to me soon and fix the issue. Marc.... On 6/17/23 18:51, Felix Miata wrote:

Hello OpenSuSE list - In trying to solve one problem I encountered yet another problem! (Sigh story of my life!) I have a profile/account on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/ and when I try to log in I am getting a bizarre error response -
"There is already an account with the login name marc@marcchamberlin.com." Of course there is already an account for me, and I am trying to log in with it! WTF! I cannot find any link that would allow me to report this issue to the maintainers of the bugzilla web site (no feedback link). So I turn to this list hoping some kind guru can help me solve this Catch 22. The problem with BZ is it belongs to SUSE, not openSUSE. We have no direct control over it, and problematic unreliable indirect control.
One other anomaly I observed, when making a change to my profile I got told - "Login to profile is not available for employees yet." Since I am not an employee I simply ignore it, but this message does keep popping up. This is a problem I've encountered too many times, involving cookies and same login working for various opensuse servers that has happened to several of us over the years, e.g. reports I made: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/113069 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879770 (private) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172619
Clearing all cookies for opensuse.org may be all you need to do. Using a different browser profile or browser should work also. Sometimes just trying again a day later has worked.
If you can't resolve it on your own, email admin@opensuse.org asking for help.
